Checking your phone, you keep a look put for Angel who is running late! Pacing and nervously, you nearly bump into Valentino. You stop yourself before colliding into your boss.

Angel quickly changes into the costume he supposed to wear before exiting his dressing room. “Are you absolutely sure he has no clue I’m late?” He asked you with clear anxiety as he goes up to the make up counter, and start putting on her make up. You’re probably Angel’s closest friend at work. He does trust you, but you can hear clear anxiety in his voice Because he is worried about pissing off Valentino today.
